One of the perks about being a judge for Taste of Madison is getting to try everything ahead of time with no line (and no cost). Here are three things you should try at this year’s Taste of Madison:

1. Churro sundae from Caracas Empanadas. Who knew they could also do dessert? It’s a wonderful combination of sweet and crunchy.
2. Berry smoothie from Natural Juice. You’ll be fine with any of its smoothie flavors, but berry was my favorite.
3. Wisconsin cheese curd fritter from Buck and Badger. The batter is slightly sweet, and the whole concoction is delicious with or without the accompanying mustard sauce.

You can see all the dishes I tried in my Taste of Madison 2013 Flickr set.
